When the captain entered the chopper the first thing that hit him was the smell. It smelled like mold or something close. The next thing he witnessed was the dead policeman lying on the deck towards the back. The pilot’s seat was intact but the co-pilots seat was bashed in from the side. As he looked around he started noticing small green fluorescent specks on the deck. Some where also up on the sides of the cabin. He didn’t think much of them and decided that this bird was totaled. He did notice that the radio had been destroyed and wondered why. It had not suffered damaged when the chopper had come in for the landing. It looked like someone or something had taken a sledge hammer to it. Jumping out, he headed back to his chopper. When He got there he noticed the non-com had built a small fire and was heating up some coffee. The captain walked over and warmed his hands. The colonel asked him what he had found; he sat down on a nearby rock and said “that is the strangest thing I have seen in many years. There is a dead policeman in the rig and the radio has been smashed by someone. The colonel looked over at the non-com and asked, how long before we can talk with that man pointing to the other policeman lying on the ground. The non-com shrugged and said it depends on his health at the moment I had to give him extra doses of the tranks. He could be out for a few hours. The colonel acknowledged and told everyone that they were going to spend the rest of night at this spot and after they got some answers from this crazy man in the morning they would go back to the site.

The little hummingbird hovered amongst the trees. The colonel took no notice of the winged creature. The hummingbird flew like the wind to a destination that man has never trod. It was the void and into that void, the hummingbird flew. The void was a place that lay beyond the realms of consciousness. It was a place that went beyond any current truths that humankind was able to perceive and it was in this place that the hummingbirds’ final plans to assist the whole of humanity onto the path of real freedom began to unfold.

Private Mike mills had moved away from the fire to search for more fuel to burn. This whole mission had given him the creeps. He wasn’t privy to all the information about it but from what he had seen and heard so far this entire mission added up to one giant mystery and those weird green lights he had seen up at the sight made this turn out to be some kind of horror story. As he was picking up some more fire wood he glanced toward the area where the police chopper had landed and noticed some green misty lights coming from it. His hair stood on end and he rushed back to the camp area. Approaching the camp he almost tripped on some brush and said in a rather loud voice,” did you see that”. The colonel and the captain looked up at him and spoke almost simultaneously, “What” The private began speaking incoherently and the captain told him to slow down. Mike sat down and breathed in and out deeply and then told them what he had seen coming from the downed chopper. Captain masticate stood up quickly and with a surprised expression asked if the mist or whatever it was moved in any direction. Private mills said that he did not notice if it moved at all but all he saw was the green light shinning from inside. The colonel looked at the captain and asked what he was so nervous about of a sudden. The captain then began to explain what he had seen upon his first inspection inside the chopper. “It looked like someone had taken a paint brush and flicked it around with paint on it. I didn’t think much about it at the time but it was green and did have a slight luminescence to it. I thought it might be some hydraulic fluid that got sprayed around when the chopper came down.

The green coats on the walls of the chopper began to slide down the sides and coagulate back into one as they hit the deck and came to a central location. They had infested one of the humans as it had run towards the ugly metal thing that howled. The human entered the metal thing with no life and another human was inside. This human did something to the metal thing and something spit out the front and tore up the ground and some of the brother trees. A great swath of their brothers on the ground had been broken apart and spread far from the one. When the dead metal thing had raised, the ones inside the human had formed up in the humans head and it started to thrash around. The other human picked up something and pointed it at their human so they made their human move to the other human and thrash it with something. The metal thing flipped to the side as the human sitting down fell from its position. Their human reached over and picked up what had fallen from the other humans hand. As he picked it up he pointed it at the other human and something jumped from the end of it and the other human ceased to move. The green coats new that life was being moved to the Great Spirit. When the metal thing fell to the earth, the human that they had infested became violent and heaved and coughed and their small patch was thrown clear of this life force and landed on the sides of the metal thing. That being had then fallen over from his position and lay very quiet. When the other metal thing dropped from the sky and more humans approached, the one human with life still inhabiting its container, jumped up and out of the metal thing. As they slid across the floor and entered the lifeless container of the human they knew that they must consume it for that was and is their purpose that mother earth commanded, to clear containers in preparation for new ones to come. They always did this with their brother trees.

As the Sun rose in the east Private Mills already had the fire going and the coffee cooking. The other men awoke and began to move around. “Wake that crazy man up, I want to get some answers,” Private Mills walked over to the man lying on the ground and bent down to shake him awake. He shook him and the man did not move so he shook him harder. When the man did not move again, mills turned him over and his face was white and his lips were purple. Mills felt for a pulse and could not find one. He turned to the colonel and said, “He’s dead sir”. Colonel Molester let go with another streak of curse words and said “I cannot get a break here.” Bury him over by the chopper and tell the police when they get here about it. The colonel ordered the captain and the lieutenant to remove the major from the chopper and set him up as comfortable as possible. As they entered the chopper the colonel turned around and ordered private mills to stay with the major while he and the rest of the crew returned to the site of the garage to investigate further. We will radio the police station to come here first and assist in this little operation of mystery. I don’t want them interfering in my investigation just yet. So when they get here don’t let them mess with the major. They can haul that chopper out of here first. That should keep them plenty busy for at least half the day.

We will return to pick you up when we are done with our investigation do you understand, “yes sir” said private Mills. He then asked about the green mist and what they were going to do about that. The colonel said, “You let me worry about that private. “Yes sir” As the captain and lieutenant hauled the major out and brought him over to a bedroll, the major stirred and tried to say something but fell back into his drug induced sleep. The colonel said, “We gave him more tranks last night because he seemed delirious when he came to the second time. I don’t want him to be disturbed until that medication completes its job on that leg. Private Mills saluted and watched as the rotor spun on the chopper and it lifted off towards the north. He had a very bad feeling about them and sat down next to the fire and pulled some MRE’s out and began cooking them.

After finishing the meal, Mike cleaned his pans and stashed everything back into the nap sack. He then stood up and decided to investigate on his own that downed chopper. He looked over at the dead police officer and thought to himself that he should put him back in the chopper. When the police showed up they could do with him what was necessary. He knew that he was disobeying a direct order but the police would be very suspicious and question him to death and he did not want that to happen. Besides, he had a feeling that the colonel was not coming back here. So he picked up the dead man and hauled him over to the chopper. As he approached it this time he could not smell the awful moldy odor, that gave him pause but he walked up quietly and peered into the cabin. He did not see the dead officer and all the green paint as the captain had spoken about, it was gone from the inside. He shrugged but something told him to just leave it alone. He figured maybe some wild animal had dragged the body off and he would tell the police when they showed up to search for any remains. He placed the other dead officer inside on the deck, did one quick check of the cabin and headed back to the camp site. When he got back to the fire the major was awake and as soon as he walked up the major asked him where the chopper and the colonel had gotten off to? The private told him that they had flown back up to the site. The major began to get very agitated again and mumbled something about “they are all going to die”. He lay back down and kept quiet after that.

Moving in the universe, Honovi became one with Afra and both moved with the divine (Great spirit) Afra bumped his mind and the Great spirit spoke to them and said “your time to leave that container is not over yet” Honovi was saddened but yet was gladdened as he knew something wonderful was to happen in the inside illusionary time and it would release all spirits to freely travel forever and to be back to the one. Free choice was always there but it had been lost from all as they entered the containers in the dimension of illusion. The true connection was the pure light of love. As he was entangled with the one he noticed a hole open in front of him. Hava, Luun and Kevas were standing just in front and all waved for him to enter, Come they all said at once. He jumped through the hole and time came back into his being all at once. He stood there and heard Kevas tell him “welcome back my dear brother” Hava and Luun approached him and touched noses. He heard them say also welcome. Hava then told him that his next adventure was to bring two more humans to this forest. They have been lost and are searching for the door. They have opened a door for the divine to enter but it is not all the way open as of yet. You will go and help them to open it all the way and then all will be good. There is also some other life spirits that you must catch and bring to this place so they also will begin to help. These life spirits are like a cleansing blanked for mother earth and you will find them wrapped around a brother tree not far from the place these human spirits are resting. Kevin, you must wait here for now. All things will be revealed (in time). Kevin started to say he was ready to do his part but Hava touched him and said you must wait. I and Luun must go now with Bill and Jim to gather others. We shall return.

Honovi bumped noses with Kevas and turned and the hole was in front of him once again. He jumped in and jumped out it seemed to him at the same time. He was standing in a clearing and could hear human voices just on the other side of a line of large brush. He wearily walked over to a place where he could peer through the brush and saw one human standing and another lying down. They were talking to one another and then he noticed one of those monster things that the humans entangled themselves in, lying a distance away and it looked as if it had been broken. He knew these were the spirits that were waiting so he moved through the brush and walked towards them. As he got closer he recognized the one lying down and at the same time the human recognized him.

The Military chopper flew in over the abandoned chopper circled around and landed a short distance from it. The colonel made sure his sidearm was at the ready and told the captain and the lieutenant to do the same. Once they all were sufficiently armed the captain shut the rotor down. Colonel Gene Molester had waited all his life for a moment such as this. He had been a desk jockey since he left officers school. Nothing had ever gone right for him and now that he was actually out in a combat situation or so he dreamed in his mind, he was going to make a real name for himself. Hell, he might even get his ex wife to come back. Her daddy was a General and a 4 star at that. He could get that promotion that he had been hoping for since his last post.

As the blades slowed down he was thinking of that woman he had seen at that old café. His mind clamored over where he had seen her before and something was floating to the surface. They all jumped out of the chopper and walked over to the abandoned chopper. Once they arrived the colonel peered inside and saw nothing unusual. This was a dead end and he started to become disappointed. The Captain touched him on the shoulder and said, “Look there is the old garage.” That is where the old vehicle is supposed to be stashed”. They all walked towards the garage and noticed some greenish lights in the forest all around. The lieutenant said this is what all those others witnessed just before they disappeared. The Colonel told him to forget that nonsense we are going to break into that building and find some answers now.

They all walked up to the building and peered into the dust covered window in the garage door. The captain shined his LED through the window and lit up the rear end of the old vehicle. “We need to get in there and investigate that vehicle. I know those bumble butts will destroy this building and remove any contents that may give us the lead we need to solve this mess. The lieutenant shattered the glass and noticed a door towards the back. “Let’s go around to that door and we can break it open”. They all moved around the edge of the building. While they were walking, the ground felt mushy under their feet. The colonel witnessed a green luminescence growing up the lieutenant’s boots and then he began to scream. The colonel turned and saw the captain starting to run back, his boots were covered with the green lights also as he ran, the colonel yelled for him to stop but as he watched, the captain dissolved in front of his eyes. He turned just in time to see the lieutenant disappear. The last thought on his mind was recognizing who that woman was and realizing that her and her husband had been the ones that stole the secret designs. He looked down and watched as his body dissolved.

The green coats wrapped themselves around their brother trees and the mighty trees moved with the slight breeze as they raised their branches towards the divine. The choppers were turning green as copper does in time with patina. All was right again with mother earth. Her forest folk and their brothers, her cleansing blankets were safe and doing their work for her. By late afternoon the dead metal things had become unrecognizable to any thing other than the cleansing blankets. They were nothing more than a large clump of green moss. Two days later when the search police team tried to find the spot there was no sign of choppers or even the garage. All had been cleansed. Mother earth sighed.

Major Sam shyster watched the deer walk towards him with purpose or so it seemed. This deer had actually spoken to him and perhaps saved his life at that God awful site. As Honovi closed the distance he began to speak to the humans in their minds. “Do not be afraid, I am here to bring you into the spirit of light” Mike sat down and Sam sat up. My name is Honovi and you are Michael and Samuel. Your spirits will no longer need those other names. I will lead you from this desolation and you will bring some tiny brothers with you. Mike turned and looked at the major but he was taking his fatigue shirt off and throwing it on the fire. He looked at Mike and said my name is Samuel. Mike took off his fatigue shirt and also threw it on the fire. He then said my name is Michael. Michael walked over to Honovi and bumped noses; Samuel stood up and did the same. Honovi then walked towards the broken monster and turned towards the north he kept walking towards a small grove of trees and turned back and said follow me I will show you the little brothers we must collect and carry to another place. As they approached the trees Michael and Samuel both stopped and became fearful. The green coats had moved from the chopper to these trees and wrapped themselves lovingly around their brothers. They had been informed by their mother that three willing spirits were going to carry them to another forest and they would be doing a great awakening to their brothers that had lost the light of the Great Spirit. All they would have to do is wrap themselves around these spirits legs just like they do with brother trees. Honovi saw the fear and told Michael and Samuel to not be in fear, “these little brothers will not harm you they just need a way to travel to where we all are going.

Michael and Samuel walked closer to the trees as Honovi stood near. The green coats began to slide down the trunks of the trees and move towards the two humans. One small group broke off the main patch and headed towards Honovi and wrapped themselves around his two front legs. The main patch approached Michael and Samuel and wrapped themselves around their legs. The two humans felt the most pleasant warm feeling as the little brothers settled themselves. Honovi turned and walked towards the area of the camp. The two humans followed and it felt to them that they were floating along the ground. As they came upon the fire it was almost out and the fatigue shirts had completely turned to ash. Michael began to scoop up handfuls of dirt and cover the fire pit. Samuel helped and soon there was no sign that a fire had been there. The two humans went around and erased any sign of activity in this particular area. Once all of this was accomplished Michael picked up his nap sack and slung it over his shoulder and Samuel took his sleeping bag and rolled it up tied it off and they all headed towards the brush. As they reach the brush the two humans turned and starred with amazement at what was happening. There were hundreds of rabbits rushing around with bushes being dragged behind them. They were erasing any sign of human footprints, they ran circles around the downed chopper and then they all disappeared. Michael looked at Samuel and both men chuckled to themselves. Honovi and the two humans walked a short distance and the hole or tunnel opened up in front of them. Honovi spoke to Michael and Samuel and said this is our way to enter the other forest. Follow me and with that he jumped in and Michael and Samuel both jumped in with him.

In no time, Michael became one with his mother and fathers spirit, he new the universe and all with the one. Samuel became one with his loving soul mate that had passed into the universe and they all were one with the divine. Honovi bumped there spirits and said here is the exit to the forest; we must go here to begin our healing tasks. Honovi stepped out into the forest and Michael and Samuel stepped out also. It seemed that when they jumped into the hole they stepped out at the same time into this forest. The moment of entrance had been an eternity to them while with the one. Stepping out was a blink of the eye back in time. Honovi, Michael and Samuel stood in a small clearing. The little brothers talked to them and said we have now been grown into the spirit of the divine, The Great spirit and mother earth are happy that we are now so much more. We must go to our lost brothers in this forest and awaken them. We love you and will be here as we all gather to heal this world. With that the little brothers unwrapped themselves and went to earth and within a very short time the trees began swaying and their branches raised towards the divine.

Kevas/Kevin was lying beneath a tree, Hava had just been to him and told him to wait and be safe, and her and all others would come and find him. He was pondering such wonder when Honovi just appeared with two humans. He looked on in wonder and watched the little green beings wrapped around their legs unfold and fall to the ground. As he watched all of this the forest seemed to come alive and he thought he heard music. It was very beautiful and quite peaceful to him. He stood up and walked over to Honovi and bumped noses with him. Honovi Introduced Michael and Samuel to Kevin. They all talked about the missions they were going to do or what Hava and Luun had in mind for them. So while they were talking and getting to know each other they had made a small camp fire and settled down to wait for Hava and Luun to find them.

Out flew the little golden hummingbird from the void and into Mother Earth’s forests. As it flew, it gave one low sharp piercing whistle. It reverberated like a shock-wave throughout all the lands and seas. A silence ensued. The golden hummingbird flitted here and there with its bright wings, so bright, so brilliantly lit up, like a flash of pure gold. It found its mark. It alighted and perched itself upon a branch of the tallest tree in the forest. The ancient tree shivered and sent a message down through its trunk with a sigh.

Like the synapses firing off in a central nervous system, the intelligence of what was needed raced down the trunk, deep down into the mossy ground and into the vast network of fungi and roots where the other trees touched and held each other and as they received this intelligence, the leaves of each branch on every tree became very still and silent. It was like the whole forest held its breath in anticipation and then, there was the faint sound in the distance. From the tree top where the golden hummingbird perched with its bird’s eye view of the world, it looked like a very large swarm of ants. But, if you look closer, my beloveds, as far as the eye can see, thousands upon thousands of land animals are moving across the land as if one. Leading the way is Honovi.

"There is a game afoot that is being played like none that has ever been played before." said Michael to Samuel. "It will be for those that have eyes to see, and ears to hear. If, and ONLY IF they listen and watch closely. It will be like the shifting sands of the deserts. Those, who stay open, will see what lies beneath those sands. There is the opportunity to be a force stronger than any other. All of the animals are here for us, they are here to show us the way, show us the signs. We know this from the bravery and unconditional love they have shown to us. They are us in another form, our brothers and our sisters." Samuel nodded wisely, and the little hummingbird whistled far into the night, as it called and called. It rallied upon those who were willing, those who were ready and those with the courage and the conviction in their hearts to go beyond where humanity has ever gone before.

16 MARY MAGDELINA

Captain Sackoschitz walked out of the building at headquarters and headed for his new office. He had been transferred here from Northern Washington. Commander Gloomy had requested him and obviously pulled some very high strings to get him. He was, at present, the best chopper pilot within the entire militarized police force of the country. He had the most elimination’s of civil disobedient domestic terrorists. He was even counted as number 1 in Canada. He and his lieutenant had been together for 5 years now and they both thought as one. This had been the crucial reason that they had gained the notoriety of all that flew the choppers in every STATE. He and his lieutenant were quite ruthless when it came to controlling the chattel. He had no compunctions when it came to eliminating the civilians, women and children did not matter to him.
Lieutenant Basturdo was a perfect fit for him as she was from a small country that had trained her from youth to be quite ruthless in her own right and death had been part of her life from the beginning when her parents were murdered by drug gangs. She had suffered horrendous things and survived. When she became old enough to join the policia she learned everything about using the latest weapons and defense methods. After that she took vengeance on the drug lords that were responsible for what had happened to her. What happened to them no one really knows but rumors were such that those people died horrendously? He walked by his chopper and admired it. He had customized it with two additional mini-guns and had extra ammo containers built in. He had also added stinger rockets like the military had on their gun ships. These had come in real handy when he blew up those condos in west Seattle. That one domestic terrorist refused to give up so he just leveled the complex. Sure there was a lot of heat from the people but his commander had smoothed that over real neat and from that point on, the people lived in abject fear when ever he patrolled any area of the STATE.

Walking into his office, lieutenant basturdo looked up from her research on the computer and asked “how did it go” he told her that the commander had briefed him of all that had happened since one man had escaped from the detention f facility in Mississippi. It all seemed quite strange. They had lost 4 choppers and 10 personnel since then. He had known Captain Axe and Captain Luftwaft and it made him mad that they had gone missing. They did find Captain Axe and his lieutenant but all the others are still listed as missing. Captain Axe’s chopper was recovered from the bottom of a lake. It had been destroyed with an RPG. The perps have not been found. Another chopper was recovered north of that lake and it is still a mystery how it had crashed. One dead officer was found inside it; however it is not known how he died. There are no clues to any of this. The Military has lost 7 men and 1 chopper. It is known that the military hauled an old gas powered vehicle back to their base. This vehicle was discovered by our people but the damnable military took it right out from underneath us. We have been given the task of finding answers to this whole mess. Tomorrow we are going to that military base and investigate that old vehicle first. There is one Captain that pursued that escaped prisoner and supposedly found him and destroyed him. I also want to bring him in for questioning of that incident. He was just a sergeant at the time but has been promoted to Captain and pilots a chopper. His name is Grant Polistate. The lieutenant told the captain that the commander had downloaded all the information gathered so far into her computer and she was studying it for any anomalies that could be gleaned. The Captain acknowledged and told her to get some sleep “we will be leaving early in the morning.”

Major General smiles shifty sat at his desk sifting through the reports and records of colonel molester. These reports were sketchy at best but something kept kicking him in the back of the brain. As he read the colonels notes within his reports he found reference to a woman that he thought he knew from a past meeting. The only solid correlation he could find was a location on an old state route road and some café/re-fueling station. He continued to try and find any other references to this person but it seemed that there were no more in these reports. He was becoming more frustrated as he delved into these reports deeper. He sat back in his chair and rubbed his eyes. He decided to get a cup of coffee and walk some of his tension off for a few minutes.

As he stood up the com on his desk beeped. He touched the device and said, “what is it lieutenant” Lieutenant Suzy scandalous said to the Major General that he had an appointment at 0700 am tomorrow morning with a Captain Sackoschitz. He is from the police conglomerate and wishes to speak to whoever is in charge of this mess that has been created. He wants to examine that old gas powered vehicle that we were so kind to abscond with. General shifty said “Thank you lieutenant” would you be so kind as to bring me a cup of coffee” “yes sir” and the com shut off. Smiles sat back down and opened up another report file of the colonels. He thought to himself, this idiot could not give a decent report if his life depended on it. His office door opened and the lieutenant walked in with a small pot of coffee and a cup on a tray. The major general looked up and said thank you lieutenant. “When that bumble brain policeman gets here make sure he does not go anywhere on this base except straight here. Suzy said yes sir and left the office.

As he sipped his coffee he read the report about following the track of the first police officer to chase the escaped dissenter from prison. This business was bazaar as he read. Apparently the dissenter had flown away from the detention center on his own power or some such without any mechanical means. The general shook his head and wondered if all of these people were demented and having delusions. The very idea of a man flying on his own power was ridiculous. As he continued to read, the colonel had made mention of this police officer tracking and locating the escaped prisoner at some diner and eliminating him as was their modus operandi. Reading further, he noticed that the colonel had found a weird area that had been blasted with a mini-gun but there were no buildings, just tore up earth and trees. He then read the rest of the report about the destroyed car and the abandoned café and then the café where he had talked with two women and one was familiar to him. He had found some more reference of that woman although it seemed to be the same as the notes he had found earlier. He looked at his time piece and closed the file after marking it. It was 2200 hours and he decided to get some sleep before the bumble wart showed up. He had no intention of giving any of this report to him until he completely went through it.

Captain Sackoschitz brought his chopper into a tight circle and dropped to the tarmac where he had been directed to land. As he flew over the base on the flight path that had been programmed to him, he was able to notice how big this base was and saw a complete large area of nothing but choppers and gun ships. He was quite impressed with that alone but was disappointed that he could not get a better look at this military base. Once he landed and shut his rotor down. He noticed a female lieutenant and four MP’s tailing her as they approached the chopper. He gathered lieutenant basturdo and opened the hatch. Lieutenant Scandalous looked up at the two police officers and said “welcome captain and hardly noticed the lieutenant but said “and lieutenant, “would you please follow me” The captain and lieutenant both jumped down and they all turned and headed off towards the Major generals office. On the way Captain Sackoschitz asked if he could see the vehicle. Lieutenant scandalous spoke to him and said “the General wants to see you first and then we will go over to the hangers were the vehicle is located.” The Captain did not say anything but kept walking towards the general’s office. He thought to himself that these creeps were leading him around and it appeared that they were going to stonewall him. He would wait to see what the general had to say to his questions.

When they entered the outer office lieutenant scandalous asked them to have a seat and the General would be with them shortly. The captain and lieutenant both sat down and patiently waited. Suzy entered the general’s office and shut the door behind her. The General took the reports he had been going over and put the folder into his desk and locked the drawer. He then said “show them in lieutenant.” Suzy turned and went back out and a few moments later the captain and his lieutenant walked into the office. The general stood up and offered his hand and said “Captain Sackoschitz, welcome to our base.” The captain shook his hand and introduced his lieutenant. The general asked them to have a seat and said “Now then what is it that you would like to know.” The Captain thought to himself, you lousy jerk you know perfectly well why we are here and what we want, but he said, “General we would like to examine that vehicle first of all and we need to review any and all evidence your men collected and any reports of unusual occurrences. We have all the reports from our own personnel that have investigated this incident but your colonel molester’s, I’m sure he collected his own and we never received any co-oberating information from him.

Major General Shifty smiled and reached into his top desk drawer and pulled a small file out and handed it to the Captain. This is a copy of all we have from the colonel. This also includes what was found in that old vehicle that you will be taken to shortly to view for yourself. I am afraid that the colonel did not collect much data and he was one to not record too much until he completed a mission which he would then file a complete report. He did have a very good memory and I believe he recorded all info into a personal recorder while on the mission. Unfortunately he disappeared before his mission was complete and if he did have a recorder it disappeared with him. Hell we lost a chopper just like you boys did. At least your department was able to recover two of them as well as some of your men. We can’t even do that at this time.” The captain reached over and retrieved the file folder while standing up and said, “Shall we go and take a look at that old vehicle?” The general stood up and said “of course, Lieutenant scandalous would you inform sergeant Cravit that we our on our way.” The lieutenant said “yes sir.” The general walked around his desk and grabbed his hat and said, “Shall we”

As they all traversed across the tarmac the Captain noticed 4 armed guards standing around his chopper. He questioned the general as to why they had to guard his chopper. The general made some stupid remark about never being too safe in this day and age. Sackoschitz thought that was the most idiotic answer he had heard being that they were on a military base and how much more safe could this place be. He had a sneaking suspicion that this general did not trust him and was taking precautions. To him, something did not smell right.

Entering the hanger where the old vehicle had been stored the captain noticed more armed guards standing around the old vehicle. As they approached a sergeant saluted the general and said “vehicle ready for inspection sir.” The general saluted back and said “Thank you sergeant that will be all.” The captain noticed that the vehicle was completely together and looked as if nothing had been touched on it. He knew better and figured these cruds had torn this thing apart looking for anything and if they found anything he would never know at this point. He walked over and opened the drivers’ side door and peered in. His lieutenant opened the other side and climbed in,. she was looking for certain things he knew and she was the forensic expert. Lieutenant Basturdo saw right away that this vehicle had been completely dismantled and reassembled. She did not speak or even give a sign that she knew but something had been found here. She made a mental note to bring this up with the captain and pretended to search the floor and door panels and look under each seat. This took her around 10 minutes and then she climbed out and shut the doors. She then opened the hood and starred at the engine compartment. She made the comment that the motor looked as if it had been recently rebuilt. The general said, “Yes we noticed that also but most of these old gas power vehicles have rebuilt motors so it did not seem out of the ordinary. We went through the vehicle with a fine tooth comb you can be sure, and did not find anything.”

“Here is the out of ordinary thing. We did not find any finger prints or any sign that humans had ever been in this thing. The lieutenant acknowledged his comments and shut the hood. She then walked over to the captain and said, “This vehicle has nothing to offer in the way of evidence shall we go.” The captain knew that something had been found by his lieutenant and said, “yes I think we can be satisfied that these men have done a thorough search.” “General! Is there a full report in this file about the contents and anything else about this vehicle?” The general told him that all that was in the report was all he had. The captain turned and said “we should be going now” and started walking towards the hanger door. He thanked the general for his cooperation and that he would be in communication if he had anymore questions. The general thanked him back and said, “These men will escort you and the lieutenant to your chopper. I must take care of some other important matters on the other side of the base” and with that he turned and headed the opposite direction.

Back in his office at headquarters Captain Sackoschitz asked Lieutenant Basturdo what she had found in that old vehicle. She opened her top pocket and pulled some fine hairs out. “I need to put these into the DNA scanner. I am pretty sure they do not belong to anyone on that base simply because of where they were found.” “Good! While you are doing that I will go through this falsified report and see if I can glean anything additional. Those idiots did everything they could to throw us off the path. That damn vehicle was taken completely apart and reassembled. It was way too obvious. That general is hiding information from us about the colonel. What did you see about that motor?” The lieutenant thought for a minute and asked about the report, “is there anything in there about that old café and junk yard that the colonel had reported on?” The captain said “I don’t know yet but you go ahead and do your research and I will read this. When you are done come back and we will compare notes. I see where you may be headed with that rebuilt motor and that old junk yard.”

Magdelina basturdo had run the DNA scans on the hairs she had recovered from the old vehicle. She was confused at first and was still having a hard time with the results. What had shown up on her scopes was a name that should have shown a deceased individual. Jim Maddock had been arrested in the Caribbean islands and detained in the prison in Mississippi. This individual had been watched for quite some time prior to his arrest for being part of an underground movement and listed as a domestic terrorist. He had a family but they were never found. He had escaped from the detention center and had been pursued by a sergeant Polistate. The sergeant had caught him in some diner located on an old interstate route and eliminated him. So how did his hair end up in this old gas powered vehicle that was later found 50 or more miles west of the place where he was supposedly eliminated? This was a piece of puzzle that did not quite fit into the entire picture yet. She gathered her research results together and thought about that re-built motor in the vehicle and the old junk yard. She began to track were this junk yard was located and discovered it was on that same old interstate route. Something began to click in her brain and she left the lab to head back to the captains office.

Captain Justa sackoschitz had read the washed down report he had received from the general. It had listed the abandoned old gas powered vehicle and how his men had found some human footprints that were far away from the vehicle. In this report it stated that these footprints appeared to belong to two adults and two children. The footprints in the first area had no leads into or out of that area. These were found again at some old cabin that was quite a distance away and again no leads into or away from the area. All of this was a complete mystery at this point. The colonel’s report after that told about a blasted area along an old state route highway and how 30 millimeter shells were found, apparently a lot of them. It also read how a blasted out car had been found further up that road. As he read further, the colonel had talked about coming to an old abandoned café with a Hugh old junk yard behind it. The colonel had then reported about another café/refueling station where he had met two women that seemed to be running it. After that was the last entry about flying north to investigate the missing police choppers and that was it. Lieutenant Basturdo walked in a few minutes later and sat down with a look of deep concentration on her face.

The captain looked at her and asked what she was thinking. Magdelina turned toward him and asked if he had come across anything about that junk yard. He said “yes but just a small reference to a short investigation.” The lieutenant then told him what she had found on the hairs. “They belong to a Jim Maddock who was arrested and detained and then escaped. That sergeant who is now a captain, I believe you said his name was Polistate or something pursued this man until he found him in some diner on an old interstate and eliminated him.” “Yes said the Captain, that is in his report on record.” “Well that can’t be true then because this hair was found in that abandoned vehicle and it was days later and further to the west when it was found.” “Are you saying that Polistate may have filed a false report?” “I am saying that he could not have possible eliminated this man when he said he did.” The captain said that they were going to get Polistate in within the next few days and he would be questioned thoroughly. “Now what is so important about that junk yard?” Magdelina stated; “that motor was rebuilt and it could have possible been rebuilt using parts from that junk yard. Do we have a make and model and VIN numbers of that old vehicle?” The captain searched through the reports and stopped when he came across that sketchy info. “Well we do have that information, It is an old Jeep Waggoner manufactured in 2018 one of the last years before they quit making those gas powered vehicles. The VIN number is VDrt456889B34T. So how is that going to help? Magdelina said that she had noticed the VIN numbers on the block of the rebuilt motor and then also noticed the VIN number on the body of the Jeep. They did not match so after they had left she had written them down. “We are going to have to go to that old junk yard and search for the old vehicle that this motor block came out of. Hopefully we can get some finger prints and DNA of whoever removed it to install into that vehicle that is at the base.” The captain said “Shit Mary that is why you are my partner. Magdelina looked at him and said “Do not call me by that name you know I dropped it long ago.” The captain apologized and said he was sorry he had forgotten in his revelation of how intelligent she was and that name just slipped out. “We will wait for Polistate’s testimony and then we will visit that junk yard. It seems the pieces of the puzzle are starting to form up here. “

After returning to her room, Magdelina had made herself a cup of tea for relaxing and sat back. As she reminisced about her given name by her parents she began to tear up. That name had been precious to her for so long after the drug cartels had killed her parents and raped her. She was 10 years old and the year was 2020. Her parents had been devout Christians and at that time being any religion other than what the tyrannical leaders declared, which was whatever they wanted it to be for them, could get one killed or murdered. The STATE was the only thing that mattered and the drug cartels were mostly part of that. She had been left for dead and some one had taken her and nursed her back to health. Physically she became strong but mentally she was sick. It all did not change for her until she was able to take revenge upon the evil people that had destroyed her parents and damaged her. She had two brothers at the time. One was murdered because he tried to protect her, the other one joined the cartel and she never saw him again. The man that had saved her had a wife and both of them were loving people. They taught her about the divine and tried to teach her how to forgive and be at peace. When she turned fifteen, the mercenaries raided the village she was in and killed her second parents. She had escaped the massacre in the village and fled to the nearest big Metropolis. where she got herself inducted into the policia. She learned how to use the latest weapons and how to be proficient in hand to hand combat. She also learned how to perform forensic science and became a number 1 student.

After graduating from the academy she was assigned to a team of Special Forces to track down terrorists and civil disobedient people. Her hatred for the drug cartels consumed her. Her first mission with a well respected team was the changing point in her life. The team was ordered to hunt down a large force of drug cartel people. When they had entered a small village in pursuit of some of the members they were ambushed. She and one other team member were the only survivors and took cover in an abandoned church. As the cartel approached she killed them with her weapons and with her bare hands. They became fearful of her and ran away. She was like a wounded animal and her companion became afraid of her. She told him to go and escape back to the headquarters. She also told him to tell them that she had died. He left and never made it back. She became a wild animal and went on a rampage. The drug cartel became very afraid of her as she began killing them wherever they were. After she had found the very ones that had killed her brother and parents, they suffered a very gruesome and slow death. She left the country and ended up in Los Angeles where she joined the police swat teams. Shortly after that is when she met Justa and they became what they are today. 3 months into there partnership is when she told him that she would no longer use the name Mary. She finally fell to sleep and had a fitful night of dreams.

17 KRISTYL

Captain Grant Polistate was absolutely upset as he banked his chopper into the headquarters landing pad. He had been ordered to return to headquarters by some Captain that he had heard of but did not know all that well. This Captain had been put in charge of a major ongoing investigation into the disappearance of 4 choppers, possibly more and at least 10 men and women. He had been promoted to Captain after he had eliminated that escaped prisoner from the detention center in Mississippi and transferred to the main headquarters. Since then he had eliminated several groups of domestic terrorists that had been operating in the northern part of Florida and the southern areas of Georgia. He liked his job and his lieutenant was very good at what she did. Her knowledge of the gear and forensic science was impeccable and he did not want to loose her to some rookie at this time. When he first received the orders to come back to headquarters, he thought this might be for that reason. Landing on the pad, he shut down his rotor and told his lieutenant to get some food and some fresh coffee; he did not think he would be to long. Lieutenant Kristy Couch acknowledged, unbuckled her harness and started toward the hatch as the Captain opened it. The hatch slid back and two armed swat members stood at the ready. The Captain looked at them and asked what the hell is going on here. The armed men motioned for him to get down and one said you will follow us. The Captain turned and looked at Kristy and jumped down. The swat men formed up around him and asked for his side arm. He handed it over and they marched off towards some buildings. Kristy jumped down and headed for the canteen. She was bewildered but decided to get some food and then she would inquire what was going on.



Captain Sackoschitz watched the two swat guards escort Polistate across the tarmac towards his office. He had read Polistate’s sketchy report about the elimination of the escaped prisoner. It really did not describe the man and the report did not mention the destruction of a scrammer car on his search for the criminal. Sackoschitz had read about that little piece of destruction in Colonel Molester’s brief report. When he had read about the major waste of mini-gun ammo at a road side area that had absolutely nothing to cause Polistate to shoot up trees and bushes, it really set him off. No damaged or blown up building’s were found along this route and it made Sackoschitz suspect that this idiot filed false reports just so he could be promoted. He began to wonder if Polistate continued to file false reports from the Southern patrols he was assigned to. He thought to himself that he was going to have to question his lieutenant also.

He called Magdelina and told her to come to the office. He heard the knock on his door and said “Come”. The two guards escorted the Captain in and handed Sackoschitz his side arm. The captain asked them to wait outside for now. He looked at Polistate and told him to have a seat. Polistate asked him if he would mind telling him what was going on. Sackoschitz sat down behind his desk and picked up the report. He opened it and looked as if he was searching for info. He started to speak when the door opened and Magdelina walked in. She moved to the lounge and sat down. Polistate asked again, “What is going on?” Captain Sackoschitz looked at the report and then looked up at Polistate and said, “It appears you have not given a very complete report about the escaped prisoner you say you eliminated. You know the one that got away from the detention center down in Mississippi, Captain or should I call you Sergeant?” Polistate jumped up and with a stern raised voice said, “You will address me as Captain, Captain Sackoschitz or I will report you to the commander for insubordination and harassment” I am the same rank as you and the same in everyway as you are Pilot.” Sackoschitz looked at him with disgust and said, “No you are not the same as me Sergeant, I call you that because you are being relieved of the rank of captain and you are also being relieved of that chopper out there. You will be placed on permanent duty as a patrolman.”

Polistate turned red and began to yell at Justa. One of the swat guards opened the door and Justa waved him back. He then turned back to Grant and told him to sit down. Grant settled down for the time being and sat back down. “May I ask what charges have been brought against me to deserve this bust in rank and loss of my chopper duties?” The Captain said “yes, guess I owe you that much. You falsified this report about that escaped prisoner and after some in-depth research by lieutenant basturdo here, she has found that you have also falsified several other reports since then. Polistate became angry again and said “what exactly do you mean I falsified that report about that escaped prisoner. I have testimonies from the other officers that were with me at the time that we destroyed that old diner and some other buildings. That prisoner could not have escaped that inferno”. Captain Sackoschitz shook his head and began to read the Military report from Colonel Molester. Polistate sat down and said “That can’t be, I know what I saw and that building blew up and nearly took us down with it”. “Regardless what you say Sergeant you will report to the patrol pool tomorrow and you will be fined two months pay”. Polistate acknowledged and stood up to go. The Captain said, set down, we are not done here yet. I want to question your lieutenant and I want you here when she answers my questions.

Kristy was just finishing a bowl of warm soup when a patrolman sat down beside her. He asked if she was the co-pilot for Captain Polistate. She said yes, “why do you ask” The patrolman said, “Thought you might want to know that your Captain has been busted back to sergeant and is loosing that chopper. Not sure what is to happen to you at this point but if I was you I would head over to the commanders office and inquire.” Kristy was already standing up. She said thank you officer and headed for the side door exit from the canteen. Once outside she took stock of her position and calculated how long it would take to get to the chopper and how long to heat the rotor and get airborne. She knew that the captain would more than likely rat her out for helping him to falsify the reports and she would wind up loosing her rank also and could wind up in jail for aiding and abetting. She knew she could not run across the tarmac but rather nonchalantly walk back to the chopper. She left the side of the building and headed straight for the chopper.

While she was eating she kept thinking about the two swat guards that had taken Captain Polistate. Something about both of them made her remember her brother. As she began walking towards the chopper it all came back to her. Those two swat craps were the ones that had killed her brother, they were older now but she could never forget there faces. She was just approaching the chopper when the two guards came out of the building they had taken Polistate to. She jumped into the hatch and watched them head towards the canteen, they had not seen her get into the chopper so she had time to spin the rotor. She waited till they entered the canteen and then spun the rotor, it turned over quickly and then she noticed the guards coming back out of the canteen. They stood for a minute and looked around and then noticed that the chopper she was in had its rotor spinning. They both started to run towards her. She had locked the hatch and now turned the mini-guns on. She waited just 10 seconds and lifted the chopper about 10 feet above the tarmac; this allowed her to spin it around towards the two approaching guards. When they saw what she had done both dropped down and raised their weapons to fire at her. She pulled the trigger on the mini gun just as they pulled their triggers on their rifles. Their bullets never hit the windshield but rather bounced off the skids. However the 30 millimeter rounds tore into both men and they flew backwards. She then turned the chopper towards the office where the captain had been taken and opened up again with the mini guns. The face of the building flew apart in shards and she lifted the chopper and spun it towards the south and pulled the throttle back and moved off very fast.

[LostNFound]

As she crossed the delta just to the south of the headquarter base she turned on the stealth mode of the chopper. She flew just another mile to the south and banked towards the east She knew the stealth mode would keep her from being tracked by the tracking GPS and the heat seekers. She reached over to her old station and activated the dispance cloak that her and Grant had lifted from a downed military chopper in northern Florida. This had been a stroke of luck for them and the military boys that they had kept alive for a while had told them about it. It was just a small black box that fit under the co-pilots main gear and plugged into the systems with nothing more than a USB drive. Once activated, it virtually cloaked the entire aircraft. She thought WOW! Such toys the military had and would not share with the police. She flew the chopper straight east for about an hour and banked it toward the northeast and crossed the interstate highway. She knew she was heading towards the first areas that Captain Axe and his chopper had been downed. She had researched all the data and reports she could find on what had been going on and even knew the area where Polistate said he eliminated the escaped criminal. She doubted the man was a criminal but rather a patriot. At any rate her goal was to hopefully find some help where she could disappear and join the patriot movement.

When the chopper on the tarmac lifted and turned towards the guards and cut loose with the mini gun, Captain Sackoschitz ran to the window and looked out. He could not believe what he saw at first but then realized that it had to be the lieutenant co-pilot of this traitorous piece of crap sitting in his office. He turned towards Polistate and started to yell at him. He also picked up the sidearm that was on his desk and pointed it at Polistate. Just as he was about to shoot him he heard the mini gun and the front of the office started to disintegrate. He dove behind his desk and saw Magdelina diving through the door into the outer office. The 30 millimeter rounds chewed the face of the building into little bits and his desk was the only thing that saved his ass. When the noise and destruction subsided he waited for a few minutes to let his hearing come back and wearily looked over his desk. Polistate was lying in a bloody pool over the chair he had been setting in. The captain knew that he was dead. He turned and scoped out the entire outside wall of his office, it was gone and dust and debris was still floating in the air. The interior wall was peppered with holes and the office door to the other room was shattered. He called out to Magdelina and heard her say she was alright.

Captain Sackoschitz raced around his desk and told lieutenant basturdo to get to the chopper hot, we are going after that traitor now. Lieutenant Basturdo climbed into the chopper and lit the gear. She turned the rotor on for warm up and strapped herself in. The captain climbed in and strapped down and ignited the rotor. It turned almost immediately and he lifted off towards the south. He flipped on all four mini guns and readied his stinger rockets. The chopper flew over the delta and continued south. Lieutenant Basturdo watched her scopes for trails and the GPS radar but there was no sign of the chopper after the delta area. She turned to the captain and told him, “that chopper does not exist it has totally disappeared.” Captain Sackoschitz swore a blue streak and banked the chopper back towards the base. He made a wide circle over the delta and pushed further out, “anything yet?” Magdelina told him No. He mumbled to himself and said “where the hell could it have gotten to?’ “I don’t know but I suspect she turned on the stealth gear almost immediately”. “Well we can track that somewhat can’t we?” “Not since the new improved versions have been installed” “Damn it, we will go back to the base for now but this isn’t over.”

Flying to the North east she crossed the lake and as she flew for another hour she came to the north forks in the old logging roads. She hovered for a few minutes and knew that going northwest would put her in that area where the other choppers went missing. She wished to avoid that so she headed towards the east road and soon came across the washed out gully in the road. She crossed that and landed on the other side. She turned the rotor off but left the dispance cloak on.

Buella the rabbit was munching on some grass when the sound of a great wind whizzed overhead in the sky. He looked and saw a giant bird land. All of sudden a human being fell out of the side of the bird in front of him. He immediately jumped and scampered away behind some brush. Kristy had pulled a bag from the luggage rack in the chopper and changed from her uniform to her civilian clothes. After jumping from the chopper she took the uniform and walked a short distance and dug a hole. She took the chips out of the clothes and duty belts and smashed them on some rocks and buried all the clothes and broken chips. Once they were all covered up she took a hand held meter and turned it on to see if any signals would show up. Nothing registered so she turned around and drug some brush over her foot prints as she backtracked to the chopper. While she had been out she had noticed the tire tracks of a vehicle and they had come from the east. She planned to follow those to see where they had originated and hopefully that is where the underground patriots may be. She thought that delivering this chopper to them might be good collateral for her to be accepted. She climbed back aboard and spun the rotor. With the stealth device on, the blades only made a whooshing sound that sounded more like a high wind through trees. As she climbed she turned on a magnifier scope and stayed about 15 feet above the road. She could see the tire tracks very well and followed them to the east.

Slowly moving along the old road and following the tire tracks she knew that it was going to be easy for others to track the road as well. This made her bring the chopper to a hover. She looked around and found a good land mark to remember at this point. She then turned around and headed back to the gully. When she reached it she hovered for a few minutes while she fiddled with the jet ports on each side of the chopper. They flipped over and pointed at the ground. She then revved up the motors and watched as the jets blew away the tracks below. This was going to take some extra time but she knew she had to erase the tracks from this point on. An hour later when she reached the landmark spot, she hovered once more and noticed that another old road from the north intersected this east road she had been following. As she studied the tire tracks she noticed that a different set had come from the north and these tracks were very faint as if they had been there for month’s maybe. She did notice that the tracks she had been following were deeper and coming from the east. She continued to sweep these tracks as she headed east once more. After another 5 miles or so the road dropped off the plateau and snaked along a cliff edge. The road looked as if it was solid rock with broken shards here and there. There were gouged ruts and parts of the road had caved off along the cliff. She thought that anyone trying to drive this road would have a very hard time. Even those old 4 wheel drives would be hard pressed to climb this road. She hovered and slid along the cliff edge to see if she could pick up any sign of the tire tracks. It appeared that there was no sign of the tracks as she slid down the side. She noticed the road emerging from a very dense forest below. As she flew lower she had to hover at a standstill simply because she could not enter the trees. She popped up higher until she could see a clearing about a mile into the heavy forest.
